Popis: The work focuses on the vegetation of the order Quercetalia pubescentis in Southeastern Europe. In the region, the alliances such as Fraxino orni-Ostryion, Carpinion orientalis, Syringo-Carpinion, Quercion confertae, Quercion petraeae-cerris, Quercion pubescenti-sessiliflorae and Aceri tatarici-Quercion have been established. Fraxino orni-Ostryion is found in the northern part, more continental part of the region and is of the transitional type to the class Erico-Pinetea, a subcontinental mountainous thermophilous vegetation dominated by Pinus sylvestris ; Carpinion orientalis is found in the areas under influence of the Mediterranean climate: along the Adriatic coast as well as in the southern part of the Balkans ; Syringo-Carpinion orientalis is distributed in the most continental part of the eastern Balkans ; Quercion confertae is an alliance that is distributed in lowlands under the influence of the continental climate ; Quercion petraeae-cerris is found at higher altitudes in the eastern and southern part of the research area ; Quercion pubescenti-sessiliflorae is an alliance with a Central European distribution pattern and has the most southern irradiation, in this region and Aceri tatarici-Quercion the most continental alliance distributed in the Pannonian plain. In the final tabulation, some initial communities and the degradation stages dominated by Syringa vulgaris from the most eastern part (classified within the Pruno tenellae-Syringion) and those dominated by Paliurus spina-christi, found on the coastal and inland regions (classified within the class Paliuretea). The results are presented in a synoptic table, with a chorological analysis, analysis of bioindicor values and calculation of diagnostic species.
